I haven't been hit with any personally in a while. (Knock on wood) I run scans weekly and a variation of scans. However, on laptops/pcs that I work on for people Ive seen stuff from smart hdd and scareware which tries to trick the user into exposing sensitive information, hides files, etc...

I've been hit by sality malware from a flash memory The malware infects all the .exe files, and I had Avira, but it didn't cure the files. Instead, it put them in quarantine, and Avira itself got infected and I couldn't open it So I lost almost all my .exe files. Had to re-download everything again
